Overview
The Hadarac is a vast desert that takes up about a quarter of the entire Alagaesia. It goes from the Ramr River on the west to the Az Ragni and Edda River to the East. The south of the Hadarac is bordered by the Beor Mountains, and to the north of it is the great Du Weldenvarden forest. It is home to a few tribal peoples and bands of raiders, but otherwise the Hadarac is a hostile environment to humans. The Hadarac desert is the ancestral homeland of the dragons.
